UK Government: Please ban the importation of foie gras into the UK!

I'm forwarding on the link for this E-petition, as I consider this petition to be an extremely important one. I didn't create this petition myself, but I really hope we can hit 100,000 signatures for it, in order to have a good chance of it being debated in the House Of Commons. You must be a UK resident, in order to sign this petition. Please only give your correct name and address for this petition, otherwise it will be void.

The practise of producing foie gras is illegal in the UK, on animal-cruelty grounds, yet the import of foie gras products to the UK is legal due to trade laws. In practise, the UK is condoning and financing a practise it has itself banned which is hypocritical. I implore the UK government to illegalise the importing of foie gras products in the UK.GIVE THE BRITISH PEOPLE A VOICE!
